“Zandria, hey baby it’s mom. Please call me back when you get this.” My mother said to my voicemail. Rolling my eyes I dropped the phone on my bed. It had been a few weeks and I still hadn’t spoken to my parents. I honestly had no intention of doing so either. They chose their side and it damn sure wasn’t mine.

DJ called a few times to make sure I was okay. I appreciated the gesture but I was more determined than ever to get my law degree and make a life for myself. It was only a matter of time before they used their money to intimidate me into answering their calls; which is why I had been applying for scholarships just in case I got rejected from the bank of Arnette. Thankfully I had some brains to back up these good looks.

“Your parents again?” Raylin asked.

“Yes, I wish they’d stop calling. I’m not going to pick up.”

“Are you going to ignore them forever?”

“I don’t know,” I replied honestly. I didn’t want to but I also didn’t see how we could move forward.

“Why don’t you tell them how you feel?”

“They already know Raylin. There’s nothing left to talk about.”

“What are you going to do if they stop paying your tuition?”

“I’ll get a job,” I shrugged. It wasn’t ideal but listening to my father question me after I told him what happened made me sick to my stomach.

“I’m proud of you for standing your ground.”

“Thank you.”

“Heyyyy the party has arrived!” Kapri yelled as Maddy opened the door.

Tonight was Coop’s first game back so everybody came up to give him some support. It had been a long road but I couldn’t wait to see him get on the court. I watched highlights from his games at McEachin pre injury but I never witnessed him play live. I was excited to get that opportunity tonight and be there to support him.

Shameik strolled in behind Kapri and I could tell Raylin’s demeanor immediately shifted at the sight of him. I wished she would take her own advice and talk about how she felt with him but I gave up that fight. Raylin could be as stubborn as a mule when she wanted to be.

“Wassup yall,” Shameik greeted us all with hugs. I had to admit I watched his interaction with Ray out of the corner of my eye. He hugged her the same way he did everybody else but she hit him with the church pat, ducking underneath his arm ending it quickly.

“We need to get over to the gym. The game is about to start soon, we’re going to be late waiting on yall,” I fussed. Thankfully Ms. Moira was already there and holding seats for us otherwise I would’ve left their ass. I needed to have a good seat to watch my baby do his thing tonight.

“Fucking around with Kapri we left late,” Shameik fussed.

“It’s not my fault yo ass don’t know how to drive,” Kapri fired back.

“Driving ain’t the problem, it’s the stopping yo ass kept making me do.
